what is better to gut and skin a rabbit and feed it to your ferret or just the hole thing with guts and skin

[pencoed hunter 7]

I say skin em because when the ferret goes in the rabbit hole there going to see the rabbit fur and think dinner and kill in all the time. My uncle told me this and has never had a ferret kill under and has been ferreting since he was 4 and now 40 something. But other people got other ways this is just what I think is right

[polecat93 4]

but do you leave the guts in

[pencoed hunter 7]

Yes unless you catch loads out ferreting then gut them in the field to loose the wait.

cheers for the help

I just gut them as the guts are often full of tape worms then open up the pelvis and ribs to help the ferrets

"never had a ferret kill under"in 40yrs? mine kill regularly week in week out, bolt or kill and move on round the warren their not hungry to feed as they're fed as normal the night before.

I feed them gutted as The One stated and fur on

tape worm sists can be found within the muscle tisue as well as the guts

 

however i have never had a ferret with tapeworms , unlike my dogs wich pick them up regular. i have herd somewhere that ferrets dont get them.

 

i feed gutted rabbits if they have been gutted . but i also feed an equal amount of hole rabbit

 

40 years with out a dig hes left one hel of a lot of rabbits in the ground

I never ever leave the guts in. what a bloody stink

[stealthy1 3,964]

Just throw my rabbits in with fur on, paunch them in the field before I fetch them home, I think its better to leave the fur on so it stops your ferrets having to eat so much of the shavings, shavings stick to the fur and not so much to the meat

thats what i do

[max abell 196]

We give them to the ferrets whole with the skin on and the guts out

[Coneytrappr 30]

I feed them guts out [they just drag them around the court, what a mess] but with fur left on.

[festa 206]

is that 1 rabbit per day per ferret ?

[Coneytrappr 30]

Thankfully no, one rabbit lasts my group of three two days, the other solitary ferrets will get half a rabbit each and that lasts about two days each also.
